Traffic Poem by Allen Steble The Philosophical Poet

Traffic

Rating: 3.0


It's eight o'clock
time to wake up
get ready for work
and iron my shirt
I get on the road
onto the freeway
this is what I do
every single day

Bumper to bumper
stuck in traffic
car to car
its just fantastic
if I caught the train
I might be on time
if I had a plane
id get the by nine

Just finished for the day
time to head back
guess I'll take the freeway
its the quick track
as soon as I get on
something is wrong
is it roadwork's again?
its driving me insane

Bumper to bumper
stuck in traffic
car to car
its just fantastic
if I caught the train
I might be on time
if I had a plane
id get the by nine

Yes, I'm finally here
I can kick back
and have a cold beer
its great to be home
now its time for tea
and then off to bed
tomorrow ill do it
all over again

Interesting and thought-provoking poem. It gives the reader that feeling of routine daily working life caught up in Traffic. The repetition of the second stanza...Bumper to bumper/ underscores the routine. Good flow and imagery. Thanks for sharing.
